Pediatrics is the branch of medical science that deals with the care of children, typically unto adolescence, but can vary. It can deal with congenital defects or genetically inherited defects, but is not always the case.

Pediatrics has many subspecialties, including many of the internal medicine specialities, such as neurology, cardiology and oncology, as well as a sub-speciality of its own, neonatology, the care of newborn infants.
